No, your GPU should be OK. I don't understand why are you unable to change those settings. You can change them *before* the scan (and troubles) is launched. Or are you maybe running HWiNFO as autostart ?
Sorry I should have been more clear. When I went round my friends house I simply ran the GPU in his rig and there was nothing wrong with the GPU. I put it back into my PC, ran it through his displays and it worked. I was able to install drivers fully which device manager now recognized as prior it only showed integrated.
I assumed it was a starting resolution problem that my Dell U2312HM couldn't run and read online reports that there were issues at running 640x480.
When I got back home everything worked and I used my 23" Hannspree TV with Dell in dual display to receive picture assuming the problem had been fixed. My queries prior were during this running period about HWinfo not working (whilst the PC was working with the GPU inside). It was able to reboot in this state
Now, this morning from a cold boot, I once again cannot get the GPU to send any display and must run the PC without the GPU to boot. I have no idea what to do anymore :-/
